Pablo Picanté
Just down the street from where I work, a new take-away food place has opened. It’s called “Pablo Picanté” (their accent mark, not mine) and is labeled a “Californian Burrito Bar”. Looks like a small version of Chipotle/Qdoda/Pancheros. I was impressed with their viral marketing campaign and had high hopes for it, which were dashed today once I tried a burrito. Forget celery in curry, may I suggest feta in a burrito?

You know, I don’t believe I’ve ever eaten there. Now I know what to do next time I visit! (But wait, aren’t there gangs roaming the streets of “south PA”?) In any case, what I really want is for the food to be as good as the Irish Times claims.

Damned liberal media. Just can’t trust ‘em.

This reminds me of the time I took a Canadian friend of mine to a late-night Mexican restaurant. He ordered a chicken burrito with just tomato, lettuce and cheese. Remembering this while on our honeymoon, Jonathan and I decided to skip the “new” and “popular” Mexican restaurant that had just opened in Montreal.

Sounds more like a fajita!
I would have risked the Montreal place since that city’s known for having better food than other parts of Canada. But I’ll admit that I’m biased towards all things Montreal …

I remember that when he asked why I was giggling, I shared with him that he had just ordered a garden wrap, not a burrito. All it was missing was ranch dressing!
I’ll share your bias for all things Montreal, but will stick with the crepes, Molson and maple flavored goodies. Oh, and just about anything from Schwartz’s!
